Carry the Fight to the Country.
The railroads are having all of a
"square deal" at the hands of I lie
Senate. It is confidently asserted that
nothing more than an emasculated
measure will come out of the Senate's
Interstate Commerce Committee,
which has occupied the vacation in .'o
ing through the form of a heating on
the Kseh-Townsend measure.
That measure passed the House in
short order. It was the President's
1 i 1 1 and the public mind favored it.
It called for actual rate restriction,
giving the power of regulation to the
Interstate Commerce Commission; the
plan formulated by the administra
tion upon which public opinion had
settled. Representatives were com
pelled to ignore other considerations
and vote for it. The forces led by
Speaker Cannon in sympathy with the
controlling power in the Senate were
insufficient to defeat it. Cannon had
come out boldly with a declaration
that nothing would be done toward
regulating railroad rates, but with all
his machinery he could neither force
nor frighten the Congressmen who
had their ears to the ground.
Fear of the party machinery is
great, but it is nothing to the fear of
what the voters may do at home. Rep
resentatives dared not go back to
their constituents with a record of
having voted to thwart the President
in his attempts at needed reforms,and
particularly his effort at controlling
the railroads by proper and equitable
regulation. Nothing is closer to the
constituents of the everage Congress
man than the railroad question; it is,
so to speak, at their very doors and
the impositions of railways have a
direct effect. Representatives are
very much closer to the people than
are Senators, are more easily recalled
and recalled in quicker time. So it
was that the measure passed the
House and the people got a "square
deal" to that extent.
The Senate comes very far from be
ing of the people, by the people; and
the said people have rarely come far
ther from getting a "square deal" in
that body than in the present Senate.
Secure in control of their respective
machines at home, which in most in
stances exist for no other object than
to set at naught popular desires, the
old guard of the g.o.p. have run things
literally to suit themselves and a class
of interests that come almost within
the meaning of "clients." The rail
way crowd have managed the rate
proposition with a magnificent regard
for themselves and an open score of
what the public wishes. The rate
hearing has had a striking resemblance
to farce. Almost every witness called
before the investigating committee
has been one who would testify to the
reasonableness and fairness of rates
and the general virtues of the roads
and would attack the Esch-Townsend
bill, while a clipping bureau in aid of
the lobby on the outside has care
fully weeded out of the news it was
widely distributing such of the testi
mony as was not favorable. Instead
of getting a "square deal," the public
interest has been abused and soft
soaped. Friends of the administration's
measure or policy have given up hope
that any bill will come out of the Sen
ate committee along the lines of Mr.
Roosevelt's recommendations. On the
other hand, there is nothing to indi
cate that the President will lay down
the fight.
Some weeks ago the suggestion came
with apparent authority from the
President that he would stump the
United States during the summer in
behalf of his rate and other reform
policies. Something might be done
with the Senate in the fall provided
the President will follow this course
and stir up the land. He will put
party supremacy in the scales by de
manding the support of the people for
what is obviously right and what is
essentially Democratic. The next
congressional election will put in
power none but men who will stand
by the exponent and champion of re
strictive measures of this character,
provided he makes his championship
clear and convincing to the country.
If, possible, as heretofore contended,
Mr. Roosevelt should undertake the
stumping tour.
Even the Senate in a crisis may be
compelled to yield to public pressure.
It takes more than the frame of a ma
chine to sustain senatorial place and
power; the people have to be relied on
in the end. The process by which the
Senate is reached is slow-, generally
speaking, but it is sure.

On the Eve of a Political Millenium.
The acceptance hy President Roose
velt of the invitation of the Iroquois
club to their banquet at Chicago is an
innovation in political matters. The
extraordinary part of the proceedings
was the fact that the largest demo
cratic club in the country with busi
ness men for members, should have
endorsed the president's declared in
tention of recommending to congress
legislation for control of railroad rates
and the offer to sustain him political
ly in so doing. These Chicago demo
crats evidently believe the republican
majority will desert the president on
the railroad issue and hence their of
fer of assistance. They virtually fol
low the lead of the democratic mem
bers of the congress who sustained the
recommendation of the president for
similar legislation by voting for the
Esch-Townsend bill after their pre
liminary vote for the democratic Davy
bill.
Either we are on the eve of apoli
tical rnillenium or the most strenuous
political upheaval since t he civil war.
Time alone can tell.
The Rule of Irony.
Last Monday, the party (self-const ij
tuted) claiming to be members of a
Law and Order League met last Mon
day afternoon and "laid down the law"
to the saloon men of this city. Men
possess great courage sometimes, es
pecially when the law is all in their
favor. Not content with binding the
saloon keepers not to open onjSunday.
they now demand that all screens and
blinds should be removed from the
front end of the saloons. So far, the
Sunday law has been observed, and
very strictly, too, for the past two
Sundays. Perhaps, being greatly en
couraged by the success of their dic
tatorial authority so far, this body of
men, constituting themselves the Law
and Order League of Plattsmouth
choose to farther inflict upon the men
whom the city authorities have licens
ed to do business, more serious orders
to retard their business. I f these men
have no rights, under the protection
of the city government, why are they
licensed at all? To have the rigiits
guaranteed them by the city taken
away from them by a set of men who
are not doing so for the purpose of ad
vancing the interests of the city at all,
but for the purpose of creating an ill
feeling among business men, '.which a
set of men under the same cognoman .
did a few years ago, is not right.
After which one of the principal
maneuverers was "pushed" to seek
a more congenial clime for an; act far
worse than playing ball on Sunday or
keeping screens up at the front door.
The writer does not use liquor in
any form, and has not been in any of
the saloons a dozen times in the past
three years. It matters not to him
whether Plattsmouth has a saloon
within her limits or not, but as long
as they are permitted to run in the
city, and have to pay a big sum for
the privilege of doing so, they certain
ly should be granted some rights
which should be respected. And not
"hounded" by a little ring of men
banded together under the title of a
Law and Order League, simply te
cause they are backed by the Slocum
law in carrying out what they would
not otherwise have had the courage to
do.
